Discussion thread for day 7 of the Advent of Code - https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/7
This was a really fun puzzle!
I've pretty much given up on trying use fewer tools, at this point 😅 But this was a really fun one, I'm really pleased I got it!
Edit: it's fascinating to see how many different approaches there are in this thread!!
My solution.
Today, I couldn't perform as well as I could because I have some work. So, I took so much time for part 2 due to a small mistake.
My solution.
Not winning any tool golf here but very much enjoyed today's challenge! Part 2 was interesting to work through.
I thought I had a good workflow going until I found buried in the documentation that Mode calculation selects the lowest number when there is a tie. This is a good use case where Alteryx should have an option to pick MaxMode or MinMode in the Summarize Tool when there are more than one Mode.
Probably not the straightest path there but it worked.
